Chapter 31 The Disappointing New Kenpachi!

"who is it?"

As the vice-captain of the 11th Division, Gosuke is the person who cares most about the new Kenpachi.

He used to be the vice-captain of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, and later served as the vice-captain of Kenpachi Zaraki. Having followed both generations of Kenpachi personally, he understood the difference between the two even more.

He didn't have too many requirements for the new Kenpachi, he just hoped that he would not be someone like Kenpachi Zaraki.

Hearing Gosuke's anxious words, Kyoraku Shunsui showed a complicated expression on his face, and then told Gosuke the answer, "Gosuke, congratulations, from now on, you are the captain of the 11th Division, the ninth Kenpachi."

"I?"

When Gosuke heard this, his body trembled immediately, and then he looked at Kyoraku Shunsui in disbelief.

"Don't be surprised. This is the decision of Central Office 46."

Kyoraku Shunsui told the whole story.

To be honest, he is not optimistic about Gosuke becoming the new Kenpachi. Although Gosuke has served as vice-captain of Kuriyashiki and Zarashiro, and his strength is not weak, but with such strength, can he really be worthy of the title of Kenpachi?
Kenpachi is the title given to the strongest god of death throughout the ages except for the captain-general.

His succession ceremony is also unique among the entire Gotei 13.

This time, Kenpachi Zaraki is imprisoned and the position of Kenpachi is vacant, which means that the previous inheritance ceremony will be difficult to maintain.

Kyoraku Shunsui originally thought that under such special circumstances, the new captain of the 11th Division would be selected in a traditional way, such as conducting captain assessments on powerful Shinigami, or being recommended by many captains.

This is the selection ceremony for the captains of the remaining squads.

As a result, Central Office 46 had a different opinion.

They believe that the 11th Division is an extremely special division, and the captain selection method should not be the same as that of other divisions.

They said that in each squad, the vice-captain was the strongest person second only to the captain.

Gosuke served as the vice-captain of Kenpachi under Kuriyashiki and Zaraki respectively, so he must have been very powerful. Now that Zaraki has committed a serious crime and been imprisoned in Mugen, the position of captain should be taken by the vice-captain.

Even the position of captain-general was appointed by the Central Office 46.

Historically, after the captains of each squad were selected, they also needed to go through a formal appointment by the Central 46th Office. Only in this way could they be legitimate.

After the Central 46th Room made this decision, even though many captains doubted Gosuke's ability in their hearts, this was the 11th Division's business after all, and they were reluctant to interfere. So Gosuke became the new captain.

Kyoraku Shunsui was once good friends with Kuriyashiki Kenpachi, so he was the one who came here to inform Gosuke of the news.

"I, I can't become Kenpachi!"

Gosuke finally reacted and had a clear understanding of his own abilities.

Even though Kenpachi Kuriyashiki had been teaching him, and even though he had practiced hard, for a god of death, aptitude is stronger than practice. Those with strong aptitude can surpass mediocre people's decades of practice in just a few years.

Although Gosuke is not mediocre, he is definitely not a top genius.

His strength is not improving very fast.

Although he served as vice-captain, he never thought of becoming captain himself.

As a result, now, Central Office 46 gave him such a "big gift".

"This is the decision of the Central Forty-Sixth Office, so for the next period of time, you need to change your mindset, Gosuke... Kenpachi."

Kyoraku Shunsui patted Gosuke on the shoulder and said this in a complicated tone.

As the vice-captain, Gosuke's presence is a good thing for the 11th Division. When Kuriyashiki and Kenpachi Zaraki met with accidents, it was Gosuke who worked hard to boost the morale of the 11th Division, encouraged the members of the 11th Division, and helped them get out of their grief. It was Gosuke who worked hard to maintain the operation of the division.

But that doesn't mean Gosuke is qualified for the position of captain.

Gosuke doesn't have that ability.

Kyoraku Shunsui was well aware of this.

Those guys in the Central 46th Room didn't understand anything about Shinigami. They thought that although there was a gap between the vice-captain and the captain, it was not that big. Little did they know that the gap between the two was incredibly big. Among the vice-captains of the Gotei 13, Gosuke's strength is not even at the top.

Why is he qualified to be the captain? And he is Kenpachi!
Kyoraku Shunsui had a lot to complain about in his heart, but in the end he did not refute the Central 46th Room.

After all, he himself was born into a noble family, and was essentially in the same group as the guys in Central Room 46.

After the cocktail party.

Soon, the official appointment from the First Division was conveyed to the Eleventh Division.

Gosuke, the vice-captain of the 11th Division, became the ninth Kenpachi. He put on the captain's haori and officially became the owner of the captain's room.

It was also after he became the captain that Xia Mu, who was originally the third seat, took a step further and became the new vice-captain.

Akagi Ryosuke, who originally held four seats, returned to the third seat.

The entire 11th Division resumed operations in this way.

After all, there are only a few people like Kyoraku Shunsui who are not optimistic about Gosuke becoming the captain.

Anyway, in the 11th Division, many players are optimistic about Gosuke.

Compared to the previous Kenpachi, Kenpachi Zaraki was inhuman and extremely cold.

As for Gosuke, they are familiar with him.

They also saw how hard Gosuke fought after the incident with Kenpachi Zaraki. They were more willing to accept Gosuke becoming Kenpachi than a stranger becoming Kenpachi.

At the same time, it is also because of his familiarity with Gosuke.

In the following period of time, the 11th Division seemed to have returned to the period of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki. The division was filled with laughter and joy. When the team members had nothing to do, they would hold a cocktail party here. For a moment, the entire division seemed to come alive again.

"Vice-Captain Natsuki, do you think Gosuke is a qualified Kenpachi?"

In the fourth squad, Natsuki came here again to study with Unohana Retsu, and Unohana Retsu asked him a question first.

"Captain Gosuke is a very responsible and hardworking person, so why can't he become a qualified Kenpachi?" Natsuki asked Unohana Retsu in return. He already had the answer in his heart as to why Unohana Retsu asked such a question.

After all, he was the first generation Kenpachi, and the 11th Division was created by him.

From the fact that Unohana Retsu showed how much she cared about the 11th Division in her previous words, and the fact that she suddenly asked such a question at this moment, it can be seen that although she is in the 4th Division, deep down, she is still extremely concerned about the affairs of the 11th Division.

"Being hard-working and responsible doesn't mean he can take on Kenpachi's position."

Unohana Retsu was not polite in his words.

"Kenpachi, this is a position that only the strong can hold!"

Unohana Retsu did not say anything else, the underlying meaning of which was that Gosuke was not worthy of the title.
